Chapter 33: Initializing the IS Report (IISR)

Purpose: Use this menu option to create records in the Item/SKU/Offer file (FCISOF) for any items or SKUs that do not already have existing records. This file is used to track order activity for an item/SKU within an offer. Unless an item/SKU has a record in this file, it will not be included in the Inventory Status & Projection Report (ISRP). By using this menu option, you can include items on the report even if you have not yet taken any orders for them.

Initialize IS Report Screen

How to display this screen: Enter IISR in the Fast path field at the top of any menu, or select Initialize IS Report from a menu.

FCR0068 ENTER Initialize IS Report 5/22/02 16:41:19 EZK Mail Order Enter Offer . F3=Exit F12=Cancel

Completing this screen: Enter each offer that you would like to initialize. You can initialize up to five offers at a time. The system checks that each offer you enter has a start date; otherwise, it displays an error message:

Offer has no start date.

If necessary, use Working with Offers (WOFR) to enter the start date and then return to the Initialize IS Report screen.

When you complete this screen, the system submits the IS_INIT job and returns you to a menu. This job creates a record for each item or SKU in the selected offer(s) in the Item/SKU/Offer file. The Start date will be the Begin (Begin date) for the offer. Each of the history buckets in the order used to track order activity will be set to zero.
